19Wabuya naye, wadla isinkwa, waphuza namanzi endlini yakhe.
20Kwathi behlezi ekudleni, kwafika izwi likaJehova kumprofethi owambuyisa.
21Wambiza umuntu kaNkulunkulu owayevela kwaJuda, wathi: “Usho kanje uJehova, uthi: ‘Ngenxa yokuthi weqile umlomo kaJehova, awugcinanga umyalo uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho akuyala ngawo,
22Kepha wabuya, wadla isinkwa, waphuza amanzi endaweni uJehova asho ngayo kini ukuthi: “Ningadli isinkwa, ningaphuzi manzi; isidumbu sakho asiyikungena ethuneni lawoyihlo.
23Esedlile isinkwa, waphuza, wazibophela imbongolo, engumprofethi owayembuyisile.
24Esehambile, ingonyama yamhlangabeza endleleni, yambulala; isidumbu sakhe saphonswa endleleni, imbongolo yema ngakuso; ibhubesi labuye wema eduze kwesiheho.
25Bheka, abantu badlula, babona isiyelo endleleni, nengonyama imi ngasesitingweni; bafika babika emzini lapho umprofethi omdala ayehlala khona.
26Kwathi umprofethi owambuyisa endleleni ekuzwa lokho wathi: “Lo ungumuntu kaNkulunkulu ongalaleli izwi likaJehova; ngalokho uJehova wamnikela engonyameni eyamdwengula, yambulala njengezwi likaJehova alikhuluma kuye.
27Wakhuluma emadodaneni akhe, wathi: “Ngibopheleni imbongolo.” Bambopha.
28Wahamba, waphonsa isidumbu sakhe endleleni, imbongolo nengonyama zema ngasesangweni; ibhubesi alidlanga isiyelo futhi alizange liklebhule imbongolo.
29Umprofethi wasiphakamisa isidumbu somuntu kaNkulunkulu, wasibeka embongolweni, wasibuyisa; umprofethi omdala wangena emzini ukumlilela nokummbela.
30Wasibeka isidumbu sakhe ethuneni lakhe; bamlilela bathi: “Maye, mfowethu!
31Esemngcwabile, wakhuluma emadodaneni akhe, wathi: “Uma ngifile, ngimbeleni ethuneni angcwatshwe kulo lowo muntu kaNkulunkulu; beka amathambo ami eceleni kwamathambo akhe.
32Ngoba izwi alimemeza ngezwi likaJehova ngokumelene ne-altare eBhethele naphezu kwazo zonke izindawo eziphakemeyo ezisemizini yaseSamariya ngokuqinisekile liyokwenzeka.
33Emva kwalokhu uJerobowamu akabuyanga endleleni yakhe embi, wabuye wenza abaphansi phakathi kwabantu babe ngabapristi basezindaweni eziphakemeyo;
34Le nto yaba yisono kuyo indlu kaJerobowamu ukuba iyiqede nokuyichitha emhlabeni.
